THRACE, Kingdom of, Lysimachus, (323-281 B.C.), silver tetradrachm, (16.616 grams), Lampsacus mint, issued c.297/6-282/1 B.C., obv. head of Alexander to right, (eye looking upwards), with diadem and horn of Ammon, within dotted border, rev. Athena enthroned to left, supporting Nike, shield at side with Medusa head in centre, KA monogram in inner left field, herm in outer left field, to left **BASILEWS* to right **LUSIMAXOU*, (cf.S.6814, Thompson 60, M.396, Armenak Hoard 781 [ANS MN 31, p.80]). High relief, of fine style, nearly very fine and very scarce.
This issue is close in style to the beautiful issues from the Pergamon mint struck by the artist who simply signed his coinage 'K'. It could be the work of that same artist.
